Enhance the Breeding Capacity of the Reintroduced Rimatara Lorikeet on Atiu by Reducing Harassment by Common Myna

Reduce the number of myna birds (Acridotheres tristis) on Atiu Island (Cook Islands) to provide a better chance for Kuhl’s lorikeet (Vini kuhlii) to establish a more robust population and enhance their breeding capability. Myna birds on the ;island are posing a threat to the survival of the lorikeet, a priority species for CEPF investment in the Polynesia-Micronesia Hotspot.
